The Softhut is a resting place for ice-skaters on the Assiniboine River in Winnipeg. The volume isolates against the cold and wind, but also against sound, light and obstructs the freedom of movement. In this way an extreme contrasting experience with the environment is created.

Softhut is composed of moulded polyurethane, an insulation material which is normally invisible. An abstract white box is poured into a form-work, and then finished into an organic form from the inside.

The places where the insulation is thin allow small amounts of light coming in. In the sculpted interior places to rest can be found, with the possibility to stand, sit or lie down.
